Pays Basque

Dear readers, here's a little account of my two day trip to the Basque Country with my boyfriend. As we had no car, we took backpacks and took the train to visit the first Spanish town after France: Hondarribia. A fortified town with beautiful impressive historical edifices and a cute typical fishermen neighborhood with colorful and flowered balconies.

We had a sweet break at Amona Margarita's bakery for delicious home madeviennoiseries and yogurt smoothie for a ridiculously low price.

For diner, we chose a pintxos bar (tapas in basque) where we both had two glasses of wine and many different pintxos - and again, the prices were very cheap.

After our succulent feasts and long walks accross the town, we watched the full moon reflecting on the river.

We slept at a bed and breakfast in the French Basque Mountains - a lovely romantic place from where we could see the ocean's horizon.

On the second day, we visited St Jean de Luz, less charmed than in Hondarribia, we still enjoyed a walk along the port, the seaside and a seafood lunch at the market place.

I hope you'll like these pictures and that someday you'll go and visit this beautiful region !
